As a Clinique beauty advisor, I'd just like to mention that this foundation is intended for people with dry/dry combination skin types. It is not the best option if your concern is with oil control. It is also moderate/full coverage so it does feel a bit heavier.
I recommend perfectly real foundation for combination skin types. It offers moderate coverage and has a larger colour selection.

This is a really great foundation. I was going through a phase where I felt like everything looked like crap on my skin, my face looked like an oil slick after an hour or my foundation started to look weird and blotchy and flaked up. I realized the problem was that I was buying all these foundations that were for oily skin to control my oil but my skin can be dry in areas too so the oil control was drying out my skin. I'm the type of person to completely base my opinion of whether to buy a foundation or not based on the reviews of this website and when I saw it didn't have that great of a rating I reconsidered even trying it. But, I'm so glad I bought it. It looks natrual and stays on for about 8 hours. I do have to blot my oil about 2 times, but it's much better than having crappy looking makeup. Just goes to show that just because a product doesn't have great reviews doesn't mean it won't be great for you.

I have very sensitive skin so I decided to try this Clinique foundation, however it unfortunately gave me small bumps on my forehead by the afternoon and I had to wash it off. I now wear LORAC - Natural Performance Foundation and it is the only foundation that does not break out my sensitive skin and looks great!

Well, this doesn't work well for me. Firstly, doesn't control oil at all. Aft 2 hours, oil from my nose start to appear. Not sure about the hydration cus I dun see any difference with my cheeks. So I don't think it does what it says. I don't like the packaging at all. No pump. I dunno how much do I need it. Gonna return it. Never going to purchase it again.
The shade matches beautifully, I'm in "petal". but it's a little heavy. I wish it had a pump. The smell throws me off a bit, too. It's definitely on the lower price end of higher end makeup, have to appreciate that. I feel like I could get the same thing from the drugstore, though. It does balance out the dry spots so they're not as noticeable.

I have oily skin, but with fall starting my skins been kinda dry is places, so I decided to try the super balanced foundation. I don't know if mines old or what, but this has no staying power for me & I notice it makes me oily in places I've never been oily before. I wouldn't repurchase. If you're looking for a good Clinique foundation I recommend stay matte.
I have really dry and sensitive skin and this is the best foundation for me. Drugstore foundations make me break out or at the very least irritate my skin. I have fair skin with a neutral/yellow undertone and their Breeze color is perfect for me. I can never find my exact shade in drugstore makeup. I am also really cheap with makeup products, but I will continue to spend the money on this one because it lasts me a long time.

One word, perfect! Recently I have had combination skin and my current foundations are all to moisturising so I thought I would try this am I'm glad I did! It glides over dry patches whilst also managing oil control. Can't recommend this enough so glad my mum recommend it to me. The only draw backs are the fact that it does not have a pump, you can not see how much product is left and the price but trust me it's worth it!!!
I have bought this product time and time again because I bought it at a time where I was trialling new foundations and had no previous experience. Now having tried a few afterwards I will definitely not be buying it again. I am prone to oily skin, but dry skin in the winter so thought it would be good to get a colour match in my local department store, they matched me to a light shade of alabaster though you would swear I have a more olive tone than a fair. I advise you do not buy this product if you are prone to oily skin, I work in high temperatures and this foundation did not sit well, it is very liquidy and within two or three hours it would streak and melt off my face revealing all my red patches and made my oily face look far worse than it was! I suppose if you had dry or normal skin this foundation wouldn't be such a problem. The bottle is simple, it can get messy as there is no pump and you don't need to apply much for coverage. I moisurise and prime before I apply and it seems to make no difference.
I hate this foundation. They matched me to "alabaster" but it is too dark. Yes, I am officially paler than alabaster. Sheesh. But I am paler than the lightest shade in most foundations so I don't take points off for that. What I do take points for is the terrible formula. It's soooo streaky. Not buildable. Oxidizes. Emphasizes dry spots, does not cover redness. Comes in a pretty but not very functional glass bottle with no pump. I kept this in my medicine cabinet for a long time, kept taking it out and trying it again, thinking maybe I was remembering it wrong or I needed to try a different technique. Nope, it's just a horrible foundation - on my skin anyway. After the last time I tried it, I dropped it in the trash instead of returning it to my stash. I should have returned it to the counter a long time ago.

carsh Posts: 4What was your price pre-sales tax? I've got an offer of $21,800 + the destination fee + TTL, totaling a little over $24K OTD. I thought that was good, but seeing your deal makes me wonder. I'm not in WA, but I don't know how that could make a huge difference.
The car is a 2010 2.5X Premium with AWP, auto transmission with popular option 1a and the auto-dimming mirror w/homelink. Even if you add in the extra thousand for the auto, I think your deal still is $1K cheaper, right? Is the difference in the options? Thoughts? How can I get my guy to go lower? -

georged4 Posts: 34A local dealer is offering me a 2010 Limited with ncludes all weather floor mats, splash guards, and rear bumper cover and puddle lights for $25,579+ tax but is adding about $100 "billing fees."
I see better prices at Fitzmall. Should I keep negotiating or consider a trip to Clearwater? Should I object to "billing Fees" -
jogousa Posts: 402Cannot compare apples with oranges. I only wish Subaru would introduce their diesels on these shores. Bought Tdi Jetta last year hoping that Subaru would start selling diesels here.
But, as far as I know altough Subaru diesels are being built in Subaru plant in Indiana, all of them are exported to Europe.
Took a test drive of Forester diesel in Austria a while ago - with manual transmission.
Rumors are that the reason for not being sold here is two-fold:
It's not Calif. emission compliant and Daimler Benz's urea injection royalties are too hight for Subaru to pay.
And, Subaru does not have an automatic transmission to match their diesel engine (too much torque generated to utilize current automatic transmission). -

kvuo Posts: 2bwenus it was dick hannah.
btw i noticed someone else in this thread someone talk about the 1000 miles break in... I passed 1000 last week sometime, babying it under 4000rpm, Finally noticed today I was willing to fully goose it.. 170 horse aint bad for lil' car like this after all
i can only imagine what you turbo boys experience -
jogousa Posts: 402Well, being a "turbo" boy, I am waiting for that 1000 miles mark! Just passed 400 miles now...it's boring now....
Cannot find a decent cup holder anywhere in that car, other than rear seat arm rest.
Have a fat water bottle that does not fit anywhere up front in those odd squares between the seat. Anysuggestions out there? -
sokkos Posts: 1To all you soon to be Forester owners - here's what I paid.
$20,795.00 - That's for the car itself. No options.
Plus licence and plates, plus documentation fee and Illinois sales tax ( 8 % ). Grand Subaru, Chicagoland.
My best advice for buyers is my own recent experience. First, find every dealer that you are willing to travel to. Second, make an offer via the internet ( don't be timid ). That offer should be between 5 and 10 percent below invoice ( this depends on the consumer demand for the specific trim you are making an offer for. I'm assuming demand is low for the manual transmission Forester car I was intrested in. ). In my case I offered $20,790.00 ( on a 21,501.00 Edmunds invoice or this particular dealers 22,196.00 invoice ). Wait for the reply's. In my case there were only a few of the shifties in the Chicagoland area. I felt the dealers offer of 20,795.00 for a Premium ( 5 speed manual ) was more than fair. Another dealer told me to take the car, that it was a " great deal " - I did.
1. As always shop the last week of the month.
2. A lot of the smaller options ( floor mats, cargo nets, splash guards etc...)
can be purchased later and perhaps cheaper. At the dealer they add up. You can always get those dealer installed options later - you may find you don't mind not having them.
3. Always get a good idea of the value of your old car. It's a bit of a hassle - but sell your old car privately. These days there are so many options to do just that.
4. Research the invoice on the exact car you are buying. Find as many sources as possible.
5. And for God's sake get the moonroof - it's #%$! fantastic.
That's basically how I went about buying my Subaru Forester - I hope it helps.
See ya in the snow,

Gear Review
Get one, protect your head
I quit wearing my last helmet because it was so uncomfortable and heavy. I decided that I would get this one because it is 11oz or something. Well, I couldn't be happier. I wear it every day I ride now and don't even notice it. Great helmet. Note that I was a little bummed by the actual color of the "Gunmetal Once Percenter", it is more like a carpaint silver than the black that it looks like in the picture. I would have gotten a different color if I had known, but I just threw a bunch of goat stickers on it and now it looks sick.

Dress with lower pleated front, double twist upper bodice
This dress came from a Vogue pattern #1327 with 49-step instructions that I decreased to less than half of that due to using a knit and my modifications.
There were 13 pleats below the front bodice.
Rayon knit lined with some type of black lightweight mesh
Feb 18, 2014, 02.49 PMby trploceanmoon
You look lovely :-) You did an awesome job. Why do Vogue patterns have to be so complicated really?? I love that you reduced the steps down! You rock! Take that Vogue! LOL!

Very nice. I've just seen a similar dress on a TV show and I was wondering where I could find a pattern. Yours is fitted so much better than the picture in Vogue. The original looks as if it's on a hanger not on a woman.
Jul 5, 2013, 05.50 AMby heatherrique
Thank you, Camis! If you don't mind the question, what show did you see a similar style?

Parallel Universes and Corpse Brains: Source Code Takes Science on a Trip
- Monday February 28, 2011
Yesterday's science fiction often morphs into tomorrow's science fact when it comes to storytellers like Michael Crichton, Jules Vernes, H.G. Welles and Philip K. Dick as standard-bearers. In the case of Duncan Jones' new sci-fi flick Source Code, you'd probably have to wait at least 65 million years before the science catches up with the fiction.

Speaking of T.O.
Despite loss, Eagles better not bring T.O. back Under no circumstances should Terrell Owens play another down for the Philadelphia Eagles. If I were a member of the Eagles' hierarchy, I wouldn't even let him pass out water bottles at the half or sweep up the locker room. And a loss on national television, another potentially crippling loss to a division foe, shouldn't change the Eagles' mind. The Eagles cannot function properly with this selfish, arrogant, self-serving, pompous, clueless jerk shooting his mouth off, fighting Hugh Douglas, ripping the star quarterback and making asinine statements about the classy Eagles organization. Look, Philly did the right thing by suspending T.O. without pay. Under the collective bargaining agreement, you can suspend a ball player for up to four games for conduct detrimental to the team. After that, the Eagles should "Keyshawn" him. In modern times, this means pay him his weekly stipend, while requesting that he doesn't come close to setting foot at the team facilities, just like the Bucs did with Keyshawn Johnson. Not having Owens on the team, especially in the locker room, is addition by subtraction. This team cannot function with the daily soap opera. A person with such an ugly persona doesn't deserve to wear the Eagles' uniform. I hope the Eagles don't become surprisingly soft after losing to the Redskins 17-10. Reports on Sunday night indicate that Owens and coach Andy Reid are going to get together for a little meeting of the minds (assuming T.O. has one) to come to a resolution. The only resolution that works is one where Owens never plays another down for this team. Reid knows the deal. Donovan McNabb knows the deal. Brian Dawkins knows the deal. T.O. is a malcontent. He's a self-absorbed egomaniac that will always do something disruptive, mind-blowing and counterproductive. And even if you get him to behave for a moment, anyone with the maturity level of a 5-year-old will act up again. Precedent proves this to be true. Oh, he might question his quarterback's sexuality, dance on the Cowboys' star, get suspended for end-zone celebrations, force a trade, not be happy with one destination, get traded somewhere else, sign a deal that the players association begs him not to and then proceed to bitch and moan about it forever. He might throw verbal jabs at his star quarterback in the off-season after the Super Bowl, belittle his offensive coordinator, get chucked out of training camp, go home, make a jackass out of himself doing sit ups in his driveway, wear a Michael Irvin jersey after a crushing Eagles loss in Dallas, employ Michael Irvin as his personal public-relations spokesperson, request Brett Favre as his quarterback, come to blows with a former teammate now working for the organization and wrongly rip the team that pays him. Other than that, T.O. gets it. What a fool. I don't know exactly what T.O.'s going to do, just that it will be something that hurts the team should he be brought back. Part of the reason he was suspended in the first place was because he refused to apologize to his teammates and directly to McNabb after his moronic comments this week. Is this guy for real? Are we back in kindergarten? And for a guy who's always complaining about the bucks, he is committing career suicide. When he is officially off of the Eagles' payroll next year, there is no chance he gets a mega-bucks deal. In the salary-cap world, could you actually take a flier, no matter how talented the player, on a guy who is guaranteed to be a human wrecking ball in your locker room? The Eagles shouldn't look back. Suspend Owens without pay for four games, then "Keyshawn" him. Don't get duped by losing Sunday night. This is bigger than a game. It's about pride for an organization which is nothing but class, from Jeffrey Lurie, to Joe Banner, to Andy Reid, to PR head Derek Boyko. |

Re: Speaking of T.O.
Who will want Owens now? Andy Reid and the Eagles knew the risk when they traded for receiver Terrell Owens. He got them to one Super Bowl, and by pushing $7.5 million of bonus money into the 2006 season ? money that T.O. won't ever collect now ? they protected their salary cap in the process. It was that bonus money that Owens was crying about earlier this year. It was why he wanted to renegotiate so badly. The Eagles, primarily vice president Joe Banner, never budged, never flinched. Owens hired top agent Drew "Rosehips," but he was unable to receive even one proposal from Banner. Both sides dug in their heels, and now Owens is suspended from Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. The Eagles might even dock him his weekly paycheck of $205,882. The Eagles could suspend him for three more games, the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement. Of course, he could also apologize to quarterback Donovan McNabb for saying the Eagles would "be undefeated if Brett Favre" was Philadelphia's quarterback all season. If Owens apologizes to the quarterback and his teammates for his statements and actions, there's a good chance that Reid will reinstate Owens for next Sunday's game against Dallas. If Owens doesn't apologize, it's anyone's guess what will happen next. The Eagles could maintain the suspension or even decide to simply release him, believing his great talents are no longer worth the locker-room turmoil he creates. There's the outside chance that Reid believes he can still fix Owens ? you know, straighten him out. If the Eagles give up on him, what team will want Owens? Would anyone claim him and the remaining $1.65 million on his contract? It seems unlikely that he would be claimed. Many teams don't have that available salary-cap room, while other teams, like the Vikings and 49ers, definitely need a game-breaking receiver but would steer clear of him. Seriously, can you see either one of them signing him? Most believe that Raiders owner Al Davis would want Owens. But there's no way with the salary cap that Davis could afford Owens, considering all the money he's paying Randy Moss and Jerry Porter. "We're having a hard enough time getting the ball to Randy, who is the game's best receiver," said one Raiders insider. "We've been doing our best to get rid of troublemakers. Why would we want him?" The bottom line is that Owens has cooked his own goose. He's been screaming about being underpaid and underappreciated, but what team is going to throw a $10 million bonus at him under these circumstances? The answer is no one. |

Re: Speaking of T.O.
This was a good move by Reid... T.O. is such a cancer, he destroyed the four time NFC champion Eagles pretty much by himself. I can't imagine any other team is willing to take a shot on him, but you know someone will. He will likely never get the big contract he wanted, and he will probabaly be on one year deals the rest of his career.
If he gets released, the team or teams with the worst records get first chance to pick him up off waivers. (Packers / Texans)

Calif. man finds $6,900 in cash on ground, turns it in
The money eventually was returned to its rightful owner.
Forty-six-year-old Breck Reeves told the Fresno Bee he spotted an envelope on the ground Aug. 6 while going to the Visalia DMV. Inside was a stack of $100 bills totaling $6,900.
Reeves says he might have kept the money if it had been $20 or so, but this was too much. He turned in the money at the DMV, and Visalia police eventually tracked down its rightful owner, 69-year-old retired farmworker Guadalupe Salazar.
Salazar had taken the money out of the bank to buy his son a new car. The envelope apparently fell out of Salazar's car when he opened the door.
Salazar plans to take the Reeves to dinner.

Hi Everyone,
We live in lower Stokes county on the Rockingham county line(sort of)and we grow veggies in a 1/2 acre garden. We would like to communicate with more veggie growers and maybe organize a swap or two. Anyone interested? Hope to hear from some of you,
Follow-Up Postings:
Susan, are you close to Belews Lake? What did you have in mind swapping? I only have about a 1500 square feet garden (in Raleigh) and part of that is planted in berries, flowering perennials and herbs. As a result, when I buy seed, I usually wind up with extra seed and/or plants. Someone that I know frequently goes to the farmers' market in Carrboro on Saturday mornings. As a result he has gotten to know some of the people who grow vegetables and flowers to sell there, especially those living in Chatham County. He made me aware of the web site of one of them, Kathy Jones. I found it facinating and hope you will enjoy it, too. Also, there is a link to the website of the Chatham County extension agent, Debbie Roos, who reputedly is really promoting the small family farm movement. |

TRICHY: Middlemen or touts have become such a menace to the army that it is planning to computerize the written part of the recruitment process both in general and technical categories, said deputy director general recruiting (southern states) Brigadier Pankaj J Sinha, who is in-charge of the Chennai recruiting zone. However, the computerized selection process, which seems to be the last resort in search of a foolproof system at least at the non-physical level, would be in force in the near future, Sinha, who was in Trichy to supervise the recruitment rally currently underway at the Anna Stadium from April 9 to April 13, said.
Tamil Nadu has 6% of the total Indian Recruitable Male Population (RMP) and four to five thousand men are recruited from the state, every year.
The Trichy rally is aimed at enrolling candidates from 15 southern districts such as Ariyalur, Perambalur, Karur, Pudukkottai, Nagapattinam, Sivaganga, Trichy, Thanjavur, Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, Tiruvarur, Virudhunagar, Kanyakumari, Ramanathapuram and Karaikal in Puducherry. As many as 6,000 candidates have so far been screened until the fourth day on Thursday and this time too the written exams that would follow the physical fitness grind would be conducted on paper, Sinha said.
Sinha admitted that touts had become a major problem and all efforts have been taken in this regard to keep them at bay. He added that police had been intimated about the menace at least three months in advance to the scheduled recruitment rally. Answering a question, Sinha said some of the touts had been identified and taken action against by the police. However, he stressed the point that the recruitment procedure was highly streamlined and it was an open rally system.
According to Sinha each state is identified to have a certain percentage of RMPs and the response from Tamil Nadu was more than forthcoming. When the other southern states fell short of the army's recruitment requirements, the vacuum was filled from Tamil Nadu. However, he refused to specify the quantum, although he admitted that for some reason the army was not still able to attract the cream of the student community who still preferred the information highway to the discipline of the army.
Sinha said the next recruitment rally would certainly involve the computerized test and candidates would be given a dummy question paper and some training in basic computer knowledge prior to the actual test. The process of automation would be as transparent as possible.
The brigadier also cautioned that those candidates sporting meaningless tattoos on their body would be rejected. However, small-sized tattoos on the non-exposed skin would be pardoned. He said that since the army followed a certain dress code, such tattoos were a taboo and the same could be injurious to health in the long run.

EL PASO — After eight weeks of increases, gas prices nationwide finally came to a standstill according to the Lundberg survey.
The survey found the average national price for gasoline down a fraction of a penny to $3.80.
Prices increased 43 cents a gallon between mid-July and September before finally going back slightly over the past two weeks.
The change is likely due to a decline in crude oil prices. if oil prices remain stable, we could see further declines in gas prices over the next few weeks.
Among the cities covered by the survey, Jackson, Miss. had the lowest average price at $3.51. Chicago, Ill. had the highest, at $4.25.

Mapping the Gotham City of 'The Dark Knight Rises,' With Topographical Takes on Other Famous Comic Book Cities
Movie News By Kate Erbland on July 24, 2012 | Comments (1)Over at /Film, they've posted an excellent (and very detailed) map of Batman's own Gotham City, thanks to Brandon T. Snider's all-new "The Dark Knight Manual." Laid out in a traditional style, the officially approved map is one heck of a tool when it comes to contextualizing Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy and just where the action of his beloved blockbusters plays out, and it's a true must-examine for all Batman fans. But it's not the only richly imagined comic book city out there – DC Comics in particular has crafted some notable fictional cities over the years, and seeing them rendered in such a manner is the stuff geeking out is made of. A little bit of digging around the Internet turned up a number of comic book city maps worth a look (though none of them as official as Snider's look at Gotham), including takes on Metropolis, Smallville, Central City, the locations of the Mega Cities, and even a map of Manhattan that includes "real" locations for a number of important Marvel Comics structures and sites. Take a look after the break.

Midlothian ISD board stands by decision to keep Christian plaques on schools
Staff writer Paige Kerley reports:
Midlothian ISD school board members stood by the decision to keep Christian plaques posted outside Longbranch and Mount Peak elementary schools uncovered.
Several community members brought up the plaques at Monday night's board meeting, so school board president Todd Hemphill responded to their inquiries.
"The plaques are not covered and we do not plan to take further action to cover them up again," he said.
However, there was no formal action taken regarding the plaques because the issue was not on the agenda, district spokeswoman Jana Pongratz said.
The plaques, installed in the late 1990s, feature phrases that dedicate the school to "the education of God's children" and say "Glory to God" in Latin. They were briefly covered with duct tape this summer after they prompted a complaint from the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
Superintendent Jerome Stewart said last month that the district would consult outside legal counsel on the matter.

Sadly (or maybe gladly), it's being widely reported today that Sony has failed to greenlight this troubled franchise sequel. The studio won't make a final decision on whether or not they will move forward until this spring, which would push shooting out of the summer and into the late fall for a projected 2014 release.
Ivan Reitman is still attached to direct from a screenplay by Etan Cohen, with Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Sigourney Weaver all reprising their roles from the first two movies. We also reported in August that Bill Murray has dropped out for good (but, hey, that could change, because it has in the past).
The story will reportedly revolve around a new team of Ghostbusters who are taught the trade by the returning cast members.
Ghostbusters comes to theaters in 2016. The film is directed by Paul Feig.

Dilophosaurus Snowboarding Edit – France 2014 from Rob Antill on Vimeo.
Little edit put together from footage we collected in Meribel and Three Valleys, France.
Mainly riding with good friends, Alex and Olli we toured around the resort hitting up the parks and pistes.
Really happy with some of the heli shots in the video, particularly the top-down view of Olli hitting the DC black kicker.
Did some bonus tracking at the beginning just to test the idea of adding 3D to heli footage.
Working with Dimension2 and Magenta Films to cover the 2014 Open Faces Freeride event in Obergurgl, Austria.
A lot of pre planning went into this shoot, camera angles were pretty important to capture as much action as possible, so we had filmers dotted all over the mountain. Me, Ad and Pierre hiked the face in the morning in just under 1 hour 30. We were positioned at the starting line at the top. It was my job to capture heli shots of people dropping in.
Over all it was a really enjoyable job, got to meet some great people and the final edit really worked out :)
Click below for some behind scenes shots..
Shooting in the DC snowpark, Meribel, France. This is Olli hitting the biggest kicker and pulling a huge backside 360. Really stoked on how this shot from the heli came out. Full edit to follow..
Click the video and use the green toggle (bottom right corner) to scrub forward and back through the clip.
Spent a long weekend up in the rad cabin near Tahoe, CA, USA. A friend's parents brought the property back in the 70s and have been renovating it ever since. I walked through some shrubs and snow to capture this shot of the house from the opposite river bank.
Setup shot after the break..
Finally got round to trying out a PanoDrop from the sky. I put a GoPro in 0.5 of a sec timelapse mode, and sent the DJI Phantom up. I had it in GPS mode so once I'd found a position I thought would look good I rotated the heli around slowly to capture a selection of images to make up the 360° panorama. From there I stitched the stereographic image as normal. Hopefully I'll get round to making a few of these :)
While working in London with Alex, he spotted this building that stood out from the rest. It turns out it's an art installation by Alex Chinneck. We thought it would be cool to have Alex riding by and then flip the image to make it a little trippy. I had to adjust the angle of the perspective in post to give the impression the image was taken from the 'bottom' looking up, and not the other way round.

Learn about the memorable moments in the evolution of Lester Young.
Born on August 27, 1909.
17 Years Old
Lester Young played in his family's band in both the vaudeville and carnival circuits. He left the family band in 1927 at the age of 18 because he refused to tour in the Southern United States, where Jim Crow laws were in effect and racial segregation was required in public facilities.
23 Years Old
In 1933 Young settled in Kansas City, where after playing briefly in several bands, he rose to prominence with Count Basie.

28 Years Old
As well as the Kansas City Sessions, his clarinet work from 1938-39 is documented on recordings with Basie, Billie Holiday, Basie small groups, and the organist Glenn Hardman.
29 Years Old
After Young's clarinet was stolen in 1939, he abandoned the instrument until about 1957.

Young left the Basie band in late 1940.

32 Years Old
His studio recordings are relatively sparse during the 1942 to 1943 period, largely due to the American Federation of Musicians' recording ban.

In December 1943 Young returned to the Basie fold for a 10-month stint, cut short by his being drafted into the army during World War II (see below).

In August 1944 Young appeared alongside drummer Jo Jones, trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, and fellow tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet in Gjon Mili's short film Jammin' the Blues.
35 Years Old

Young's career after World War II was far more prolific and lucrative than in the pre-war years in terms of recordings made, live performances, and annual income. Young joined Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP) troupe in 1946, touring regularly with them over the next 12 years.

He emerged from this treatment improved. In January 1956 he recorded two Granz-produced sessions featuring pianist Teddy Wilson (who had led the Billie Holiday recordings with Young in the 1930s), trumpet player Roy Eldridge, trombonist Vic Dickenson, bassist Gene Ramey, and drummer Jo Jones - available on the Jazz Giants '56 and Prez and Teddy albums. 1956 was a relatively good year for Lester Young, including a tour of Europe with Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Quartet and a successful stint at Olivia's Patio Lounge in Washington, DC.

Lester Young made his final studio recordings and live performances in Paris in March 1959 with drummer Kenny Clarke at the tail end of an abbreviated European tour during which he ate next to nothing and virtually drank himself to death.

The perfect trip: Cornwall
Surrounded on three sides by the sea, and cut off from the rest of Cornwall by the deep furrow of the Helford River, the Lizard Peninsula was once infamous for smugglers and shipwrecks, but it is now better known for its wildlife and coastal scenery.
Few people are more passionate about the Lizard's landscape than Rachel Holder, who has worked as a National Trust warden here for the past nine years. "The Lizard is an incredibly special place," she explains. "Originally, the peninsula belonged to a separate landmass, and its unique geology and coastal climate mean that many plants, insects and wildflowers thrive here that can't live anywhere else in Britain."
She heads off along the coast path high above Kynance Cove, a craggy, island-studded inlet that gives one of the Lizard's most memorable views. On every side the clifftops are ablaze with wildflowers: milkwort, bloody cranesbill, lady's bedstraw and kidney vetch, speckled with patches of pink thrift and Cornish heather. Butterflies and honeybees drift lazily among the gorse, while below us the sea glimmers cobalt blue in the sunlight.
"In summer, this stretch of coastline is one of the best places in Cornwall to spot basking sharks," Rachel says, gesturing out to sea beyond the grassy islands clustered around the mouth of the cove.
Suddenly, a dark shape darts across the path ahead: it is a Cornish chough, a member of the crow family, easily distinguished by its bright-red bill. This iconic bird was once a common sight around Cornwall's shores (so common it even features on the county's coat of arms), but by the 1970s habitat loss meant that the chough had been all but wiped out. Happily, it has made a comeback since several wild birds unexpectedly returned to the Lizard's cliffs in 2001.
"When I first started work here, bringing choughs back to Cornwall was still just a dream," Rachel notes. "But the fact that they've returned on their own shows how healthy the habitat around the Lizard is. As a nature warden, that's incredibly rewarding and very exciting to see."
We hike on along the coast path, tracing the clifftops west from the lonely lighthouse at Lizard Point to the tiny fishing hamlet of Cadgwith. As we descend into the village, we stop and listen to the metallic crash of the Atlantic on the rocks below, and the hollow call of a gull somewhere out to sea.
Where to eat
Where better for tea and cake than Kynance Cove's own beachside Kynance Café, where you can fill up on crab sandwiches and Kelly's ice cream while enjoying the views of nearby Asparagus Island and Gull Rock? It's eco-friendly, too, with fully biological loos and power from solar panels (lunches from £3.60).
Where to drink
Clifftop pubs don't come much cosier than the 500-year-old Halzephron Inn, outside the village of Gunwalloe. It is a classic Cornish kiddlywink, or beer house, with low ceilings, brass bar trinkets and local ales – not to mention a menu that boasts crab salad, lamb tagine and beef fillet (wines from £3.40 a glass; mains from £9).
Where to stay: Landewednack House
This is an elegant b&b in a former rectory halfway between the Lizard village and Church Cove. Outside are two acres of private gardens, a heated pool and a converted coach house. Inside, its six smart rooms are decked out in classic Homes and Gardens style, with frilly curtains, creamy carpets and antique furniture (doubles from £110).
Mousehole and Newlyn: Best for fishing villages
Mousehole is 28 miles from the Lizard, 50 minutes by car

They just weren't invited to the party.

Gutierrez praises Hughton effect
Newcastle winger Jonas Gutierrez has hailed boss Chris Hughton's tenure as critical to the club's current stability.Hughton has now been in charge for 16 months following a wretched 2008-09 campaign when United had four managers during the course of the relegation season, including the 51-year-old for a three-week caretaker spell.But with Hughton at the helm on a full-time basis, Gutierrez feels the difference is marked."Chris Hughton has been in charge for a long time now and we know what he wants," Gutierrez told the Newcastle Journal. "That is good. We are happy to see Chris staying here because he believes in us and we believe in him."For us it is very important to have Chris as our manager. The difficulty of the relegation season was we had a lot of managers and a lot of injured players."Now we have time to do things right. I think we are doing that but we have to do it better when we have the opportunity."

Hi all, I just purchased several spuria and read they like manure. Has anyone planted these and what is the best soil mix to plant them in? I was going to do a 50%-50% native soil and manure mixture. Thanks, Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have disobeyed the "rules" and put them in heavy-ish soil (adobe that's been ammended with many things - compost, manure, etc.) and they thrive. The Spuria Iris Society recommendation is at the link below. As to manure..............most plants love aged manure. I'm unsure what a manure mix is and what is your native soil like?. I set bags of the cheapest manure aside for 3 months before using. You can tell if it's still 'hot' by laying your hand on the bag. Hot manure will kill new roots. |

Well, I am still completely and utterly obsessed with Disney Magical World, although now that the game has been released and other people are playing it, I've had a chance to review the online features that weren't available before. And unfortunately, those are somewhat lacking.
Also, I muse about popular and critically-acclaimed games that everyone else seems to love that I've just never been able to get into. I'm sure you've got some of those yourself. Make the jump and watch this week's vidcast to see what mine are!

Very little, but great store :). They have soo many ingredients (it's a Korean market, so they just have Korean ingredients ;) ). There I got things that are very rare in Bonn like Tteok for Tteokbokkie or Silgochu. You also get fresh Dubu and Kimchi there.
Where do you buy your Korean cooking ingredients?
